The second breakfast station was at El Chilito. There was a decent crowd by the time I got there. They were giving out breakfast tacos, Gatorade, and coffee.
HA! Breakfast taco--only in Texas.
BTW day today was great in Arlington/DC! There were TONS more bikes on my route. It was like an army of bikes downtown. Made me excited but I also wanted to shake people and say: We could rule the streets EVERY day!
Not great swag-wise, probably because I was a bit on the late side. There were bagels left but the cream cheese was gone. And there was a table set up for a gym?! Whatever. The sight of all those bikes out today was enought for me.
